Nick Gammon said:Also, I think the problem with positioning might have been that you asked for absolute window positions in the movewindow.install line, which I don't think is really wanted, because absolute positions really only apply once they have dragged the window from its default position. I changed that bit.

I don't think I've ever had a situation where the window allowed me to move the movewindow area offscreen. It always just jumps back into view if it goes too far. Hmm.

Is there something I can cut/paste/save as a plug-in that will capture everything above (except for the prompt line at the bottom)? I tried modifying a MiniWindow (for inventory on another thread) as a base script but no luck.

And thank you the quick and on-target responses.

P.S. I guess the next step I'm looking for is a very basic MiniWindow script that one can (1) modify for various uses, and (2) move around like the chat MiniWindow in this thread.

so the trigger that fires off "You hear Bymox hrm." echo's the command like its supposed to...
But the trigger that fires off the say doesn't echo like its supposed to... because the plugin is set to match the same message. the trigger still fires it just doesn't echo the command.

I was going to say just edit out the prompt with a regular expression but it will probably be harder than that, because the prompt will probably have different colours, and thus span style runs. If it is all one colour it would be simple enough.

Your simplest thing is probably to make the prompts on a new line. To do that:

Yeah i found the FAQ years ago when i was first playing around with triggers... and simply adding a new line to my prompt does break up the prompt and says(or anything else) but it also adds an extra blank line on occasions.

Adding extra blank lines like that never appealed to me so i just worked around it in my simple triggers.
But since this is just a stored record i was wondering if the script could be made to just remove everything between the < > automatically if it detects them.
It isnt a big deal though, i have lived with similar issues for years :) and i can live with seeing a prompt in the chat window.

But none of this should affect my triggers failing to echo the commands into my window when they fire... Correct? That was my main issue, just figured i would tack the prompt question on since i was already posting.

I know the problem is related to the chat miniwindow plugin because when i disable the plugin, my triggers that match off says start to echo what they sent properly again.

The problem is that, if the prompt is in different colours like a lot are, then removing it is slightly complicated. You have to work your way through the style runs, omitting the relevant ones, and possibly having to split the last one into the part you want to keep and the part you want to omit.

After poking around a bit, I figured out a solution to my main problem on my own :P

The sample triggers in the plugin have "Omit from output" checked, and the chat script can then echo the says back to the main window, and a copy to the mini-window. Or flat out redirect them to the mini-window, and leave them omitted from the main window.

"Omit from output" also hides any commands sent by the trigger though.
So i got this...
